OTOH, that might be the LAST password anyone would have tried. Reminds me the web site for the local paper had an article on the Orwellian CCTV system the police put in with a picture of the command center. I noticed that there was a post-it at the top of one of the monitors. Zoomed in on the picture and there was the password! :-D
